England are being ‘cruel’ to Zak Crawley by continuing to put him in the firing line in Test cricket.
Crawley cut a forlorn figure as he trudged back to the pavilion for just 13 in England’s second innings at Lord’s.
He had somehow survived the opening burst from Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, but barely gave himself a chance against Keshav Maharaj, trying to sweep his 3rd ball and missing. It was a shot of poor judgement by Crawley, but that has been the hallmark of his summer so far.
